Use the Project Manager to remove topics (.HTM files), text-only topic files (.TXT), map files (.H, .HH), custom windows, build tags, and baggage files (.BMP and .ICO) from your project. Do not use the Windows Explorer to remove project files because all the references to the topic will break, resulting in broken links.
WARNING! When you delete a file from your project, it is removed from your system. We recommend that you see Tips for removing files from projects before you remove any file from your project.
Click the Project tab.
Open the folder that contains the file to remove.
Select the file.
Click Delete .
If the file is not referenced in other topics, the table of contents or index, you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the file. If you want to remove it, click Yes. If you do not want to remove it, click No.
If the file is referenced by other topics, you are warned that the file is referenced by other files and the references will no longer work unless you remove them. Click Yes to remove the references in other files (for example, links, keywords, TOC pages, etc.). The references are removed so your project will not contain broken links. It's a good idea to select this option if you are removing topics from your project that you no longer need to use.
If you do not want to remove the references, click No. Be aware that your project will contain broken links. If you intend on replacing the file with another one that uses the same name in the same folder, the references will automatically be repaired (patched).
